2 So it’s A Level – What’s different?
Historical Study Skills Organisation Are your notes clearly sorted into different topics? Are you filing past essays and feedback? Have you created revision resources based on the information you have learned for each topic? Note taking Do you have a clear, consistent method that works for you? Are your notes clear to read and have you highlighted key information? Independent reading Are you recording the title and author of what you read so you can find it later? Are you doing additional reading to what is asked of you in class; how are you recording this? Time Keeping Are you arriving on time and ready to learn? Do you know when your deadlines are and making plans to meet them? Are you handing in quality work on time? Look through SoW and then Pupil checklist for Autumn 1. These are what I will be assessing to award your ILLs points

7 What happened at the end of WW2?
Black south America – not equal. Whites in SA receive support

8 Read page 291 Create a sketch / meme to represent six reasons why Malan was able to become elected in 1948 Rank these in order of importance (be prepared to justify your opinion) A level textbook

9 Despite this support, Malan only won 38% of the vote (Smuts got 49%!)
However the constituency system favoured Malan – rural areas had fewer voters. Smuts did best in English-speaking city areas

10 Learning objective: To describe the growth in Afrikaner Nationalism.
Monday, 19 November 2018 Learning objective: To describe the growth in Afrikaner Nationalism.

11 On 5 June 1918 disaffected Afrikaners were brought together in a new organisation called Jong Suid-Afrika (Young South Africa). The following year its name was changed to theAfrikaner Broederbond (AB). The organisation had one main aim: to further Afrikaner nationalism in South Africa - to maintain Afrikaner culture, develop an Afrikaner economy, and to gain control of the South African government.

12 The South African prime minister, JBM Hertzog, declared in November 1935 that "there is no doubt that the secret Broederbond is nothing more than the NP operating secretly underground, and the NP is nothing more than the secret Afrikaner Broederbond operating in public." At the end of 1938, with centenary celebrations for the Great Trek, Afrikaner nationalism became increasingly popular, and additional organisations developed - almost all linked to the AB. Of particular significance were the Reddingdaadbond, which aimed to uplift (economically) the poor white Afrikaner, and the Ossewabrandwag, which started off as a 'cultural crusade' and rapidly developed into a paramilitary strikeforce.

13 Why might Afrikaner Nationalists support the Nazi party?
The NSDAP/AO arrived in South Africa in 1932 and as a result a number of groups sympathetic to Nazism emerged. The most notable of these was the South African Gentile National Socialist Movement (also known as the South African Christian National Socialist Movement), formed by Louis Weichardt the following year.[1] A fiercely anti-Semiticgroup, it organised the Gryshemde as its equivalent of the Sturmabteilung, although the grey shirt became so associated with the group that it was applied to the movement as a whole. In contrast to some extremist groups the Greyshirts did not split along linguistic lines, but rather sought to work with both the Afrikaans and the English-speaking populations.[2] The Greyshirts struggled to maintain unity and spawned a number of minor splinter groups, such as Johannes von Moltke's South African Fascists. Most of these groups united under Daniel François Malan's aegis when he formed his 'Purified' National Party, although the Greyshirts did not take part and contested the 1938 election alone. The decision proved unwise, however, as the Greyshirts failed to make any impact.[1] The group was roundly attacked by the National Party, with an article appearing in Die Burger in October 1934 stating that: 'We believe that this party, generally known as the Greyshirts, under the cloak of an anti-Jewish movement, strives for a dangerous form of government in South Africa. The Greyshirts have as their aim to set up a dictator in South Africa.'[3] Jewish immigration from Nazi Germany to South Africa grew significantly during the 1930s and the Greyshirts launched a campaign calling for an end to the practice. A ship was chartered by the Council for German Jewry, a UK-based group, to bring as many Jews as possible to Cape Town, leading to the Greyshirts organising a mass protest against the move. The scale of opposition was such that Sarah Millin appealed to Jan Smuts to deal with the Greyshirts, although her request was ignored.[4] Indeed, relations between the National Party and the Greyshirts actually improved, initially as a result of a 1937 letter from Frans Erasmus, at the time Secretary of the National Party, praising the Greyshirts for bringing the "Jewish problem" to the fore and culminating in a number of leading Greyshirts also holding National Party membership
